The correct answer is:
\(\mathrm{y}=\mathrm{x} \sqrt{6}-\sqrt{3}\)
Hint: \(a e=2, a^2+b^2=4\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{2}{a^2}-\frac{3}{b^2}=1 \Rightarrow b^2=3 ; a^2=1\)
\(\frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1\). Tangent at \(P(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})\) is
\(\sqrt{6 x}-y=\sqrt{3}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{2}{a^2}-\frac{3}{b^2}=1 \Rightarrow b^2=3 ; a^2=1\)
\(\frac{x^2}{1}-\frac{y^2}{3}=1\). Tangent at \(P(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})\) is
\(\sqrt{6 x}-y=\sqrt{3}\)
